Numerous studies have documented genomic changes since the two species differentiated, although all of these studies used a relatively small sample set for defining these differences. In this study, we compared the complete genomic content between a diverse set of <jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Y. pseudotuberculosis<\/jats:italic> genomes, and identified unique loci that could serve as diagnostic markers or for better understanding the evolution and pathogenesis of each group. Comparative genomics analyses also identified subtle variations in gene content between individual monophyletic clades within these species, based on a core genome single nucleotide polymorphism phylogeny that would have been undetected in a less comprehensive genome dataset. We also screened loci that were identified in other published studies as unique to either species and generally found a non-uniform distribution, suggesting that the assignment of these unique genes to either species should be re-evaluated in the context of current sequencing efforts. Overall, this study provides a high-resolution view into the genomic differences between <jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Y. pseudotuberculosis<\/jats:italic>, demonstrating fine-scale differentiation and unique gene composition in both species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/mgen.0.000028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,21]],"date-time":"2015-07-21T09:12:05Z","timestamp":1437469925000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Redefining
